A modern reconstruction of the lion-headed helmet worn by Alexander the Great on the so-called Alexander Sarcophagus, a late-fourth-century BC marble tomb found in the royal necropolis at Sidon, in present-day Lebanon, and now held in Istanbul. The helmet links Alexander to Heracles, the mythical ancestor claimed by the Macedonian Argead dynasty; the sarcophagus was probably not Alexander’s own tomb, but that of a Sidonian ruler.
